The scientific nature of geomantic numerology in Yinzhai
What is the connotation of Feng Shui? Geomantic omen is a science, and its remarkable feature is to emphasize the harmony between man and the natural environment. In addition, geomantic omen is also an art that makes the houses (houses) and the houses (cemeteries) live in peace with the atmosphere in the universe. In feng shui, qi is used to explain the natural environment. The organic connection between the yin house and the natural environment is to follow the connotation of Feng Shui.
Guo Pu, a geomantic master in Jin Dynasty, said in the Book of Burial: "Qi is also angry", "Qi is dispersed by the wind, and the boundary water stops. The ancients gathered to do it, but stopped at it, so it was called Feng Shui. The method of feng shui, water is the best, followed by Tibetan wind. " The theory of using anger is the central theme of Feng Shui. Anger refers to a kind of energy flowing away in the soil, which has a kind of blessing and prosperity. Anger can reconcile yin and yang, generate everything, get it at home, and people will be safe and blessed; After the tomb, the tomb owner Sun Changsheng. In the final analysis, Feng Shui is to let people know about life and use it to benefit mankind. "Burial Book" said: "The gasification of husband's yin and yang becomes wind, rises to cloud, fights for thunder, falls to rain, walks in the ground and is born with qi". Anger is a link in the cycle of yin and yang, which constantly moves and changes into wind, clouds, thunder, rain and anger. "The five elements of qi are underground and born in everything." Anger comes out of the ground and rises into the air, which becomes wind. When the wind blows away, it can't be used. Therefore, if you want to gather anger in a certain place, you must prevent it from swinging away. Only the mountains around Jidi can keep out the wind, and only the slowly flowing water and lakes can gather vitality. This is why Jidi is usually surrounded by mountains, flowing water and mainstream tributaries.

Micro-topography has a great influence on microclimate and ecological environment, which is summarized as a favorable location model and compared to "acupoints" For example, the acupuncture points on the human body in acupuncture and moxibustion are generally inward basins or platforms surrounded by mountains on three sides or all around, with high in the north and low in the south, and the sun shines; This model is allowed to be used even on artificially operated terrain. This typical "cave dwelling" pattern is considered to be the best feng shui pattern for "storing wind and gathering gas" and benefiting the ecology. The so-called "internal qi produces hair, external qi forms, internal and external products, and feng shui is self-contained"; Note the cloud: "the internal qi is budding, and the point temperature is full of life; When the external atmosphere is shaped, the image of landscape is formed. Anger sprouted from the inside, and the image changed from the outside, which actually multiplied. " The dependence of microtopography, microclimate, ecology and natural landscape is actually expounded. This understanding is completely scientific. For example, in recent decades, China has explored planting rubber trees in the subtropical zone. The micro-topography and microclimate characteristics suitable for rubber trees in Hainan and Xishuangbanna, Yunnan are exactly the same as the typical pattern of so-called "holes" in Feng Shui.
In short, all specific feng shui activities should be based on the premise of promoting qi and avoiding qi, and the ancestral home should be built in a vibrant place to realize the harmonious unity of the qi of man's small universe and the qi of the surrounding big universe, so that future generations can make great achievements with the qi of heaven and earth.
The so-called geomantic science of Yin House in history?
In fact, these are all ancient sciences, not superstitions, but experiences summed up by the ancients and conjectures combined with historical conclusions ... It is unscientific according to the present dialectical point of view, but it is also a summary of some natural laws. In a word, these ancient knowledge are too profound to explain the so-called scientific theory, let alone deny it … so, you can not believe these things, but just don't believe them all …
Geographical effect
"The heavens and the earth are positioned, the mountains are ventilated, the thunder and the wind are fighting, and the fire and water are not shooting ..., the stars in the sky are in rows, the mountains and rivers are in rows, the sky is going down, the ground is going to be uploaded, like a natural image, forming underground." The ancients believed that there was a strict correspondence between the mountains and rivers on the earth and the galaxies in the universe, and the earth was the epitome of the macro universe. The sea-land changes of orogeny and the formation of mountain water system are the results of the long-term effects of various galaxies in the universe on the earth.
Modern geophysics tells us that, on the one hand, the above effects cause tectonic movement, plate drift and crustal rise and fall by changing the distribution of magma in the earth's mantle; On the other hand, it promoted the development and formation of the ancient water system, resulting in the erosion, transportation and deposition of materials on the crust surface. The starting point of the mountain is the birthplace of the river, and the mountain and the river often go hand in hand, and finally gradually dive and disappear where the river meets or surrounds.

On the Scientific Existence of Yin House Feng Shui
The so-called yin house is the place where the coffins of ancestors are buried, that is, the grave, where ancestors can rest in peace, so it is called yin house.
Our national tradition has always attached great importance to respecting ancestors and attaching importance to the concept of harmony between man and nature, so we also believe that finding a good resting place for ancestors will definitely bring good luck to future generations. Therefore, a special theoretical system of geomantic omen has gradually formed.
Is there Feng Shui in the Yin House? Does it really exist? What is its origin and existence mechanism? What are its material properties? Why can it last for thousands of years? Does it really have an impact on future generations? The origin of China's classical burial system, the evolution of cosmology and cemetery style, the concept of life and death and the evolution of burial style of soul separation, the origin of rich burial in modern China society, funeral reform and spiritual civilization construction, modern cemetery and modern funeral cause, etc. , can't answer these questions correctly.
Staff sergeant listened and worked hard; The sergeant heard that living is death; The corporal smiled. It is not enough not to laugh! ..... (quoted from Chapter 41 of Tao Te Ching)
Life is death. Sometimes you live, sometimes you die. The first thing the living do for the dead is funeral activities, which is an ancient and eternal activity of human beings and a very distinctive cultural phenomenon. Through the historical deduction of funeral activities to explore its relationship with China culture, we will find that there is an eternal theorem: there is no "life" without "death".
The word Feng Shui originated from the funeral activities in the Han Dynasty (as early as the pre-Qin period). Without funeral activities, there would be no Feng Shui. For thousands of years, the existence of Feng Shui can not be separated from people's understanding of the existence of the soul. If people don't "acquiesce" in the existence of ghosts, there will be no funeral activities (awakening, evoking spirits, carrying spirits, etc.). ). Thousands of generations of inheritance has its extensive social and ideological foundation. Even now, when it comes to Feng Shui, most people associate it with graves. Why is this happening? To understand this problem, we must first understand a problem, that is, "ghost culture in China".
Ghost culture was once an influential folk cultural phenomenon in China society. French scholar "grotte" said: "In China, such beliefs, doctrines and axioms have been firmly established. It seems that the ghost of the dead keeps the closest contact with the living, and its closeness is almost the same as that of the living. Of course, there is a dividing line between the living and the dead. But this dividing line is too vague to distinguish. In every way, the communication between these two worlds is very active. This kind of communication is both the source of blessings and the root of disasters, so ghosts actually dominate the fate of the living. " This is just from the perspective of faith. In fact, the influence of ghost culture goes far beyond this. China ancient society's politics, philosophy, art, literature and other aspects were branded with it. Even in today's remote mountainous areas, some phenomena of ghost culture are still accepted and passed down to varying degrees.
If we look around the world, we will find that ghost culture is a common phenomenon. No matter which country or nation, there have been various assumptions about ghosts and the underworld in history, and there have been many behavioral phenomena such as offering sacrifices to ghosts, exorcising ghosts, evoking spirits, avoiding ghosts, and so on, and colorful ghost stories have also been circulated. It can be said that it is a page that must be turned over in every national history volume.
So, what is ghost culture? In our view, ghost culture is the concept and behavior brought by the ancients' thinking about human death and related issues. Generally speaking, it consists of belief-centered concepts (such as the concept of ghosts and gods, the concept of the underworld) and behaviors and events in the form of rituals and customs (such as funeral, ghost worship, exorcism, evocation, ghost story telling and ghost taboo). The former is abstract, secret and profound; The latter is concrete, obvious and superficial, and it is the materialization of the former. Besides, all kinds of novels, operas, fine arts, architecture, music, dances, ballads, proverbs and proverbs about ghosts also belong to the category of ghost culture.
We know that with the development of modern science, today's people have mastered the weapons to scientifically and rationally understand natural phenomena and people themselves. However, humans in primitive times were not like this. Due to the limitation of cognitive ability, they can't make a reasonable explanation for many phenomena in nature and themselves. It is believed that there is a mysterious force behind the world that dominates natural phenomena and human behavior, which is called "psychic force" in anthropology (the material attribute of psychic force is "Zi Ling", less than mm^-34). On the basis of the concept of psychic force, people in primitive times regarded the dreamy self as "second self" because of misunderstanding of physiological and psychological phenomena such as dreams and hallucinations, giving it superhuman characteristics and extending it to the whole nature. Once this concept is connected with the phenomenon of human death, it develops into ghost consciousness with the dead as the object. People are afraid of it, believe in it, and make various actions in behavior (such as praying for the help of the ghosts of the dead in their own tribe when they are in trouble, offering sacrifices and thanking the ghosts when they are in good times, etc.). ), thus forming the primitive form of ghost culture. This kind of thinking process is the same among all nationalities in the world, and China is no exception. Therefore, ghost culture is a universal cultural creation that originated from primitive times.
